All of this reminds me of an episode from Seinfeld where Kramer loaded a bag of concrete mix in a top loader. Even though I laughed, I'd never do such a thing to my machine. As long as you take care of your machine and don't put things in there than you shouldn't, they'd certainly last longer...

Wow, that's super awesome of Speed Queen! I had SEBO send me new parts for my vacuums at no charge even though I'm not the original owner and I offered to pay.

Love both, I dream of living in a house with both of them just like what we had up at our last cabin. But if I had to choose between the two, definitely front loaders.

Definitely Miele. As what Greg said, bags are expensive but for the price, they are the best bags I've ever seen. And you can also order attachments separately either online or at a Miele dealer. The C1 Classic Pure Suction currently has a Black Friday sale going on.

You're right, no vacuum is perfect. Personally, I'd rather have a vacuum that has lesser problems. There was a Kenmore like that sold up in Canada that isn't direct drive. Would take that one any day over the direct drive model. But my preference would've been the Panasonic Optiflow MC-UG787...

Yeah it's not that bad of a machine, honestly it's one of the last Kenmores at least for uprights that I liked. I would've liked it more if it wasn't direct drive cause it's one of the worst brushroll designs I've ever seen. My old friend of mine who just passed away over the weekend was a long...

Ah ok. Then it must be this red Intuition upright.

I think I might know which one you're talking about. If it is, that LED light was probably an upgrade someone else had put on because these originally didn't had LED.

I see. Still would be curious to know what models your Kenmores were because I liked the older ones the best. These would be my favorite ones. Such a shame Sears and Cleva missed out on an opportunity to make Kenmore great again because they could've simply brought these back, they were still...

I'm actually curious now, what all of the vacuums have you owned in the past?

My LG is just as close as my old Whirlpool Duet and it's direct drive.

The Bissells are Chinese clones of the Sanitaires. They're not made in the same factory as the Sanitaires but parts can be interchangeable between the two. In fact I put a Bissell fan on one of my Sanitaires and it works just as well. Other than the motors, I can honestly say there really isn't...

Then you may want to look into the FELIX. It's a dual motor upright, one for suction and one for the brushroll. They also make a DART model which is similar but doesn't have the extra features that comes with the FELIX such as a swivel neck for the power nozzle, variable speed controller...

There's actually two motors in the brushroll. Yours only has one. That's why I mentioned you'd be getting a downgrade if you got that Kenmore cause it's an extra thing that can go wrong. Looks like you missed your chance on the other Kenmore cause it appears it's already been discontinued. The...

The SEBO is a "clean air" or a "bypass" design so that means all the dirt is going directly into the bag before the motor. You should check out this review video where you'll notice this guy would suck up things that you shouldn't like screws or bolts and it will not damage the machine. I...
